Kenwood KDC-MP235 I bought this about a month ago and I was driving around the other day and it quit working and went into protect mode and will not come out no matter what I do...I have tried grounding it in another spot and for some reason when I touch the ground wire to the bolt I am grounding it to it sparks....please help thanx

umm....i was driving down the interstate, listening to music, and suddenly my stereo stopped working and went into 'protect' mode. i haven't tried many things to fix it, mostly because i don't have the owner's manual anymore... please help.umm....i was driving down the interstate, listening to music, and suddenly my stereo stopped working and went into 'protect' mode. i haven't tried many things to fix it, mostly because i don't have the owner's manual anymore... please help.

sound starts to break down after playing a while. then will go into protect mode if i don't shut it down. as if it is overheating. i don't know maybe not good enough ground? anybody know for sure?sound starts to break down after playing a while. then will go into protect mode if i don't shut it down. as if it is overheating. i don't know maybe not good enough ground? anybody know for sure?

my kenwood kdc -mp235 was working perfectly for two weeks then it started to act up, some times would take 30 seconds for sound to come on now it will not work at all everything comes up on display but NO SOUND.

Mine went into protect mode the other day and the reset button worked fine, but I turned my car on this morning and it was in 'protect' mode again. Reset didn't work so I'm not sure what to do.Mine went into protect mode the other day and the reset button worked fine, but I turned my car on this morning and it was in 'protect' mode again.

Re: Kenwood KDC-MP235

If it goes into protect mode. U can hit the reset button located on the front of the face. But according to the manual if this continues to happen, then u may have a short in the speaker wires touching to ground. So i checked all of my wires and connections and it still goes into protect after about 20 or 30 min. of play time at a fairly high volume. I dont understand why unless it is just a flaw in the design. anyone have any ideas?

Protect:- The speaker wire has a short circuit, or touches the chassis of the vehicle, then the Protect function is activated. Wire or insulate the cable properly and then press the reset button. If the "Protect" code does not disappear, consult your nearest service centre.
